Driving into the little town of Dundee in Oregon on 99W is quite the trip. The town is home to only a few hundred people, yet some of the commercial addresses are the most famous and sought after names in Oregon wine. Antica Terra, Erath, Evening Land, Four Graces, and Purple Hands are some of the big names that call Dundee home.
But my favorite to visit by far is Four Graces. It’s one of the absolute best places in Oregon to have a glass of wine. An old converted barn is the centerpiece for the tasting experience which overlooks one of the estate vineyards. The people are down to earth, the tasting is relaxed and affordable, and the wines are out of this world.
If you ever visit, and I strongly suggest you do, the 4-time Top 100 Wine Spectator wine of the year winners will pour you their estate Pinot Blanc – a super vibrant, tangy and steely white wine that they ferment in a giant stainless tank. The wine has found itself on the top 100 list before. Today’s wine from the 2019 vintage didn’t earn those honors, but did receive two rave 90-point reviews. At the price, there’s nothing remotely close in domestic white wines.
2019 has a real chance of being considered Oregon’s greatest ever vintage, and that’s a distinction that is shared for both red and white wines. With an ideally wet spring, followed by warm but not super hot, and consistently dry conditions through harvest, the purity of the fruit and the size of the healthy clusters is a sight to behold.

Glistening straw. Ripe pear, white peach and tangerine aromas are sharpened by a spicy ginger flourish. Silky and open-knit, showing a suave interplay of depth and energy to the sappy citrus and orchard fruit flavors. A floral note emerges on a long, smooth finish that features a lingering suggestion of pear nectar. The wine would pair wonderfully with spicy southeast Asian dishes or salty cheese and charcuterie.

Tart yet still rather soft on the palate, this brings a mix of light green herbs, apples, lemons and limes. The overall weight is light and tangy, the balance spot on. It’s a most refreshing style to enjoy through 2022.

Sonoma Coast is well-known as a cool-climate region, perfect for growing Chardonnay. That’s why it’s such a big deal for Route Stock to transition over for the first time from Carnernos over to here. The newly released 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has a pale straw color with lime hues. The aromas are of honeysuckle, orange blossom and creme brulee with layers of vanilla and a hint of toffee. The palate is lively yet soft with flavors of lemon cream pie and merange.
One of the best places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. And within Asti, there is no white wine calling card that holds a candle to Moscato. Here it is king. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Moscato is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. This is serious, high-quality and hand-harvested Moscat, that oozes with sweet tropical fruits and a hint of minerality that stays on your tongue with each sip. This is also the perfect wine for anyone searching for a low alcohol option as well.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.

“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
